• The founder and president of Columbia Pictures, Harry Cohn (1891-1958), had certain doubts about this adaptation of a little-known play by Harry Segal (1892-1975). He preferred to allocate substantial budgets only to the production of films in whose future box office success he was one hundred percent confident – for example, films featuring Rita Hayworth (1918-1987). However, screenwriter Sidney Buchman (1902-1975) somehow managed to convince Cohn to allocate money for the expensive sets of the afterlife and the luxurious Farnsworth mansion, and also to borrow Robert Montgomery (1904-1981) from MGM. On top of everything, Buchman convinced Cohn that he knew what audiences would go to see in the cinema better than the Wall Street bankers to whom Cohn reported.
• James Gleason (1882-1959) was brought onto the film's creative team primarily to help refine the dialogue. Gleason had a gift for using colloquialisms, and he also proved to be an excellent actor.
